collinst824 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I purchased an aftermarket HD Radio for my '08 RX400. Has anybody tried installing one into their car? How did you remove the head unit to access the back of the radio? Anybody know how much Lexus might charge to install it for me? Thanks!

PIONEERSUBY Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I purchased an aftermarket HD Radio for my '08 RX400. Has anybody tried installing one into their car? How did you remove the head unit to access the back of the radio? Anybody know how much Lexus might charge to install it for me? Thanks! wood trim each side pops off by spring clips. what hd radio do you have? were youb assured it would work on lexus system by the seller. lexus systems dont recognize and play just any aftermarket radio without expensive adapters and control boxes to talk to the amp and headunit. lexus dealers will only install parts they sell due to warranty considerations. some dealers even tell customers that installing non lexus equipment will void warranty to scare them into buying their units.

collinst824 Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 I purchased the DICE Electronics HD Radio Integration Kit. This is actually for an RX350. I can remove the wood trim below the head unit and take off the bracket screws, and the unit still won't slide out. Are there additional screws that are securing the unit to the car??

Auto Obsession Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Pop off the wood around the shifter and the wood panel with the cig lighter in it. There are four 10mm bolts holding the radio in place. Two on the bottom and two on each side hidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
